Prime Minister David Cameron claimed yesterday that Scottish people did not want to live or work in a “foreign country” after independence.

On the second day of a visit north of the border, Mr Cameron said: “People in Scotland say to me ‘I’ve got children working or studying in London,’ and people in London say to me: ‘I’ve got children working or studying in Scotland.’

“Do we really want to have a situation where they are working or studying in a foreign country?”
